Re: CREATE TABLE AS ... WITH DATA

Okay, I've found where is says that it's not allowed.

The select-statement must not refer to variables or include parameter
markers.


But why, I dont see the explaination why? I'm not seeing why the compiler
would care if I use a hard coded value or a host variable to select
records.

the reference manual has lots of info on where host variables are
allowed - check the create table section - carefully look at the syntax
and all

there are good reasons for some of these things, and they usually make
sense after thinking about it a while

come back with quotes from that section, then we can respond better

It's not a compile message. It's interactive SQL checking that it was

I thought it might be a mistake so I saved it anyway and tried to

compile,

and the compile message was the same. It's not allowing host variables
when trying to create table with data. I just understand why.

Michael -
What were the messages on the compile listing?
